Sixth Policy Authors Meeting of the Global Environment Outlook

A selected group of the Policy Effectiveness authors met at the Freie Universitaet, Berlin to advance the drafting of several elements of the Policy Effectiveness chapters of the sixth Global Environment Outlook, including:

Move the Policy Effectiveness chapters towards third order draft quality by:

• Addressing all the comments from the Science Editors on the policy chapters, including shortening text and restructuring case studies.
• Addressing all comments received from the second order draft technical review period and from the scientific editor’s team;
• Improving the coherence within single chapters, across chapters in part B and across the whole report;
• Ensuring adequate coverage of each cross-cutting issue by using the improved framework developed in Singapore by the Coordinating Lead Authors as a reference;
• Ensuring that all components needed for a third order draft version are included in the chapters (references and citations, graphs and charts and so on)
• Addressing any comments on structural, technical or science editing provided by the editing team.
